“Through his years of experience and success as a commercial model, actor, lecturer, and author, Aaron Marcus has created the most comprehensive and definitive book on commercial modeling. This book should be required reading for anyone aspiring to succeed in the commercial field!”

Steve Deck, Owner, International Modeling Network • Los Angeles

“Anyone who reads Aaron Marcus' book "How to Become a Successful Commercial Model" and REALLY pays attention will succeed! I learned a great deal from the book, but the best advice is to "sell yourself". I sent out my composite cards then called back after 10 days and got a response from one who immediately set me up for 3 castings. Also, Aaron stressed the importance to have good thoughts when being photographed since the "eyes are the windows of the soul". I never thought about that but saw the difference when I had my comp card made. I read a chapter and then considered how I can go about accomplishing a goal. Aaron Marcus really knows what he is talking about, and his book is a great help for the serious model. Thanks, Aaron for all your help.”

“Thank you for the wonderful resource your publication is to the talent and modeling industry. I find it to be a clear, informative book with fully integrated illustrations.”

What Do Think a Typical Model Looks Like?

When most people think of modeling, they only picture fashion models - those tall, thin, glamorous men and women who walk the cat walk and appear in ads for designer clothes. But you don't need to look like Kate Moss, Cindy Crawford, or Joel West to succeed as a model. Commercial models appear in ads for everything from cell phones to fitness centers, to real estate companies and come in all shapes, sizes and ages. Many successful commercial models look like everyday people. The individual who has the greatest chance of being chosen to appear in an ad is the one who can believably look like a mom, doctor, mechanic, business person, plumber, student, grandparent, baker, teacher, dad, and other professions and roles in society. Although there are many beautiful and handsome commercial models, it is not necessary to have that "perfect" look in order to be successful.
